A truly magnificent ring, like two flames entwined together—one a blazing red flame, the other a blue icy flame.

Henry Wallace took off the flame ring and slowly slipped it onto William Carter’s ring finger. As soon as the ring was placed on William Carter’s finger, the flame ring instantly vanished.

Henry Wallace said, “This is the Sect Master’s Command Ring of the Yin-Yang Sect. Now that it’s on your finger, its true form won’t be revealed. Only when your strength reaches a certain level will the flame ring appear on your finger. At that time, you will truly become the master of the Yin-Yang Sect.”

William Carter was immediately shocked and said, “Grandpa—oh, Master, how can I become the sect master? I’m so weak.”

“Every generation of the Yin-Yang Sect’s master is the direct descendant of the previous master, so if you don’t become the sect master, who will?” Henry Wallace said. “After you go to the Yin-Yang Sect, you can temporarily keep my death a secret, letting everyone believe I am still the sect master. Ten or twenty years later, when you are strong enough and the flame ring can reveal itself on your finger, you can announce my death to the world and officially become the sect master of the Yin-Yang Sect.”

Next, Henry Wallace took off a pendant from his neck. It was a jade carving of a flame, fiery red and incredibly beautiful.

“This pendant is the token of love between your master’s wife and me. Its name is ‘Moth to a Flame.’ Your master’s wife and I each have half. My half is the flame pendant, and your master’s wife’s half is the jade moth pendant. Take this token and give it to your master’s wife. When she sees it, she will trust you unconditionally.”

“Once you have the flame pendant, just combine it with the moth pendant. Your master’s wife will then see the letter I left for her…”

Chapter 7: Betrothing My Beloved Daughter

“A letter?” William Carter exclaimed, “Master, aren’t you coming with me?”

“Calm down and let me finish,” Henry Wallace said sternly.

“Yes!” William Carter’s eyes grew hot, and tears nearly fell.

“In the letter, I will tell your master’s wife to make you the next sect master of the Yin-Yang Sect, to devote all the sect’s resources to training you, so you can become a top expert in the world as soon as possible and take charge of the entire Yin-Yang Sect.”

“In addition, in the letter, I will betroth my daughter to you. Her name is Alice Wallace, she’s a few months younger than you, and you two are a match made in heaven. She is my only daughter, my most beloved treasure. You are a good child, smart and capable, so I am very at ease entrusting her to you.” Henry Wallace smiled.

“But… but what if she doesn’t agree? There has to be love between a man and a woman to be together. Maybe she already has someone she loves?” William Carter said.

Henry Wallace said nothing, but pulled William Carter’s hand closer to the flame pendant.

Suddenly, two flames burst forth from the spot where the flame ring had been, illuminating the flame pendant. A figure gradually appeared on the pendant, casting a shadow on the icy wall.

It was the image of a girl, only ten years old. Even at ten, she was already breathtakingly beautiful, to the point of being suffocating. William Carter instantly held his breath, unable to believe such a beautiful girl existed—she was truly a masterpiece of the Creator.

“This is little Ling’er from ten years ago, your fiancée. Now, ten years have passed, and I can’t even imagine how beautiful she has become. Your master’s wife is already a peerless beauty, but she is even more beautiful than your master’s wife.” Henry Wallace said.

Indeed, the most beautiful woman William Carter had ever seen was his girlfriend Emily Thompson, but this Alice Wallace was far more beautiful than Emily Thompson.

“I am her father, I am her world, and everything about her is up to me. From childhood, she has always listened to me, and she will obey anything I say. Most importantly, although she is not a ‘Nine Yin Body,’ she is still a one-in-a-million pure yin body, just like her mother. Ordinary men could never handle her; only your ‘Nine Yang Body’ is her perfect match. If you two become husband and wife, it will bring endless benefits to both your cultivations. The harmony of yin and yang will allow you to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

“In three years, if she still hasn’t found a man with a strong enough ‘mystic vein’ to consummate with, the yin fire in her body will reach its peak, causing unbearable pain, and may even be fatal. So, if I don’t betroth her to you, who else could I choose? Now, will you agree to marry my daughter, your junior sister?” Henry Wallace said.

William Carter blushed, then nodded.

“Haha…” Henry Wallace said, “In all these decades, today is the happiest day of my life. Not only have I found a once-in-a-century successor, but I’ve also found a lifelong companion for my daughter. I can die without regrets.”

“I should have died ten years ago, but I stubbornly clung to life, hoping for a miracle. Who would have thought that Heaven would truly show me mercy and grant me you, William Carter.”

Seeing the abnormal flush on Henry Wallace’s aged face, William Carter couldn’t help but feel uneasy. “Master…”

“After ten years of frailty, I almost forgot the days when I dominated the world,” Henry Wallace said to William Carter. “Good disciple, in these final moments, let me show you the real me—the mighty and imposing Henry Wallace…”
